Nepenthes hirsuta
A small, hairy Bornean pitcher plant whose stems and flower spikes are covered in thick brown hairs. It grows from about 200 to 1100 m in kerangas heath forest, on mossy banks in lower montane forest and in open or disturbed ground on low ridges, mostly over sandstone. It is a lowland-to-intermediate plant: warm, very humid, bright but not harsh light, and moisture all year.
Where it grows wild
Terrestrial in kerangas (heath) forest, on mossy banks in lower montane forest, in open areas and in disturbed vegetation on low ridges, mostly on sandstone-derived, acid, nutrient-poor soils. Plants usually stay low, forming rosettes with short climbing stems, and the mostly green pitchers often sit on or near moss.
Recorded from 200 to 1100 m. GBIF records carry no elevations; the measured sites range from 62 to 980 m, mostly lowland.
